On saturday after hundreds of demonstrators defied the lockdown. 10 people were killed after Security Forces opened fire on the crowd. More than 50 have died since the protests begin four days ago as anger erupted over poverty and the lack of basic services. This has resulted in rallies and protests on the streets of the country. One of the most powerful politicians has called for the government to resign and hold snap elections. Protesters take cover under a bridge in central baghdad as gun shots ring out. Iraqs Security Forces continue to fire bullets at unarmed protesters. Dozens have been killed in the last four nights in antigovernment protests. More than 2000 people have been injured. Overnight, the iraqi Prime Minister appealed for calm. His words seemingly having little effect. The promises by the Prime Minister are two fool the people. This was a peaceful protest. They set up the barricades and the snipepers. Reporter some politicians voicing support for the protesters, perhaps sensing a change in the speakers of the movement. The government must act. Pay tribute to the young heroes to convey their weapons for the need to proceed for reform and Pay Attention to the peoples livelihood. I call on the commanderinchief of the armed forces, the Prime Minister, to hold accountable those who assaulted the protesters and to bring them to justice. Whether they were a part of that is Security Forces or on the protesters side. The grand ayatollah said in a letter we hope the voices of reason and logic can prevail for the best interest of the country. All the officials have the responsibility to make the right decisions to move forward. Everyone should be aware of the danger of excessive violence before it is too late. [chanting] reporter in the holy city, mourners from one of the protesters who died. He was martyred in a protest. He was calling for the rights of the people. He was 23 years old. Reporter the protests and others earlier this year aim at government corruption, lack of jobs, as well as religious discrimination. Says it willt hold an emergency session on saturday. The age of the protesters have surprised many in iraq, but with a young and often unemployed generation, it is perhaps unsurprising anger has led to violence. The protesters have reached a conclusion that the road is blocked in the Political Parties have failed. The ayatollah is playing a fatherly role but he might not be able to influence the protesters. Reporter in baghdad, there are checkpoints every few hundred meters and mobile patrols through empty streets. Dedespite the curfew, protesters continue together not just here but across the country. What began as protests concerning jobs and opportunities has grown into resentment at what seems as heavyhanded tactics from iraqs Security Forces. The protesters say the more people that died, the more people that will come out on the streets. Anchor for more on this, we want to speak to ben, the editor in chief of the iraq oil report. Joining us from new york. If people were willing to take to the streets in defiance of a curfew, what is likely to happen when that curfew is lifted in the coming hours . Ben anybody who tries to protect whats going to happen in iraq is either a charlatan or a full fool so i will not venture too far and wondering. Anchor it was likely the protests were continuing in recent days . Ben absolutely. The trend seems to be the protests are intensifying and certainly they will continue. Thequestion is whether celebrations or processions coming up might have some effect on breaking the momentum. But certainly, there is a lot of momentum behind these protests. Anchor interesting that you mentioned that. It is coming up in the next few weeks. In thisa key point calendar of many muslims in the country. A time when everyone gathers for rallies, peaceful to commemorate this religious event. Do you think that could fuel the protests or divert attention away from them . Think thatim i so much depends on first of all how the Security Forces continue to respond. Second of all, the Political Developments in the country. Been a sort ofas vicious cycle of violence perpetuating anger and discontent. If the protests are allowed to happen in a relatively peaceful comes, i couldt imagine a scenario where the popular anger dies down. That being said, pulling support for the government removes a major pillar of support for the Prime Minister. It is a very volatile time. Again, it is a fools errand to guess what happens next. Anchor key factors corruption and the governments inability to meet peoples basic needs. Clean water, electricity, basic infrastructure in many areas. What did you make of the demographics in the country . How important a driving factor is youth unemployment . Iraq is getting younger. About 60 of the population is under the age of 25 now. The unappointed rate among Unemployment Rate among youth is about 40 . It is a huge driver of these protests. One basic fact, theres a lot of young men who are discontent and have nothing else to do. Another factor is the government is consistently failing to provide enough can economy that is providing opportunities. A lot of reasons to protest and a lot of oxygen for that to happen. There are so many challenges in the country and it is not going to be fixed in the shortterm future. But in terms of there being perhaps more transparency, what sort of steps could the government take possibly to show it is making an effort towards a more equal distribution of wealth in the country . One fact that i think is often overlooked is this government has been fairly thoughtful of putting together a comprehensive reform package. The problem is that there are so many entrenched interests that propagate this culture of corruption that you could really only address it in incremental steps. And, what these protesters want, understandably, is not a solution five years from now. They want radical change right now. I think it is a situation where the government actually has a fairly thoughtful program for how to address these problems, it is just not happening fast enough. Anchor ben, thank you for sharing your thoughts with us. Appreciate it. There has been protesters in hong kong challenging a ban on facemasks which is in effect. Carrie lam invoked a colonial era law to enforce the ban and gain greater power to clamp down on prodemocracy protesters. Police have been battling protesters who vandalized subway stations and set fire on the streets. A 14yearold boy has been wounded in the gunfire. Scott reports from hong kong. Scott facemasks have become one of the main symbols of the protester movement in hong kong. Hideare also a way to identities from surveillance cameras. Now, it is illegal for protesters to cover their faces. There protests have become increasingly violent. Initial peaceful rallies calling for the withdrawal of a proposed extradition law have escalated into running battles and vandalism. Their demands became more of a broad pushback against what protesters see as growing control from beijing. Chief executive carrie lam has turned to a British Colonial era emergency law not used since riots in 1957. Anyone who wears a mask of face up to a year in jail and a 3000 fine. Hong kong is not in a state of emergency. Were not proclaiming that hong kong is entering a state of emergency. But we are indeed in an occasion of serious danger. Which is the condition and emergency regulations ordinance. Scott many of the protesters said they were not deterred the emergency law and will carry on as before. Others felt it might stop some demonstrators but the ban will not help in the crisis, possibly having the opposite effect. I think some people would be afraid of bearing the legal consequences and are not going to protest in the future. I also think such a hot approach is not going to work in the long run. Scott this group of protesters has been moving about here at the financial district of hong kong. It started with a march of thousands. Now it has gotten down to hundreds. They are bouncing two main intersections and blocking them off. After work hours, the number of protesters swelled into the thousands again. Barricades were built, fires lit. They then moved on from the financial district, the marching mass of people growing. The majority of protesters ended up in causeway bay, vandalizing subway stations and businesses that protesters view as unsympathetic in their movement. As routine, riot police came into push the protesters out. Most left, but small numbers faded into the smaller streets. With the announcement of more protests planned for this weekend, it is routine that will probably be repeated. U. S. President donald trump said he would not cooperate with an impeachment inquiry until the house of representatives has voted to approve the investigation. The white house is facing a deadline to turn over documents or democrats issue subpoenas, but President Trump says he neednt comply. Transcript pushing the ukrainian president to investigate joe biden. Trumps remarks come as any surprise . Guest not really. He has been stonewalling any sort of oversight that has come from the house since it became democratically controlled at the beginning of the year. This seems to be another extension of that. Speaking at the white house on friday, he said that joe bidens son hunter biden took billions of dollars out of china, but offered no concrete evidence to say that was actually the case. He says he has every right to call for inquiries into corruption involving american citizens, but could not name other will anyone other than political rivals of any other country he has asked to investigate corruption. He says that he believes the democrats probably have the votes to carry in impeachment forth in the house, and in fact, over the last couple of hours, democrats have been saying a majority of house members now support impeachment proceedings against donald trump. He said if it went to the senate, and it would have to go to trial in the senate, the republicans would probably stick with donald trump. That is probably the case. Mid romney has expressed concern about what donald trump has set about getting china to investigate the bidens, but he has not said whether or not he would vote against. They need about 20 republicans the flip to the other side and there is no sign of that happening. That is why the democrats have to be careful in building their case. Part of that will be receiving documents from the white house. Donald trump was asked whether he would absolutely cooperate and he gave this answer to those outside the white house. Know,ent trump i dont that is something the lawyers i know the lawyers think they have never seen anything so unfair, anything so unjust. I have been president now for almost three years and i have been going through this for almost three years. It has almost become a part of my day. Anchor right. Now alsoice president appears to be ensnared in this controversy. Guest he has been roped into that for a few days now when donald trump was giving his News Conference said you better talk about talk to mike pence about his conversations with ukrainian president. Now the house and Oversight Committee saying we need documents from mike pence. We need to see anything related to discussions you had with ukrainian president. We want to know about the briefings you got on the phone calls in june and july. They said if you dont do this, that would consider to be a real problem for mike pence. Essentially what they are saying is if you dont hand over these documents, then we will impeach you. That can happen because what got Richard Nixon way back in the 1970s was the fact he wanted to withhold documents from the house. While mike pence says there is no daylight between him and donald trump, the democrats have opened up a second front and saying we need your documents. Mike pence could make the decision he is not going to headed over until there is an impeachment hearing, but that could be a position that ends up in court. This has got to be interesting day in washington, but then over the last couple of weeks, there has been no real boring ones. Anchor thank you very much. Alan fisher in washington.

Of the 2700 people they tried to identify whether emails work, they were able to target about 241 of those people, but only succeeded in four accounts being hacked and microsoft says none of those were government officials or the president ial campaign.

Largestr us was the doing these four weeks of protests. It was huge. It was ridiculously big and have never seen that before.

Anchor as you say, there appear to be these calls for him to resign and people arent unhappy about many things but alleged corruption is definitely one of the key grievances. Do you think he can continue to resist these calls for him to step down . Guest i dont know how long it could he could still stay in power but it is very difficult now. Most of the sectors in the life of haiti is asking for it. There is no confidence we can even just go out to have a public appearance. Nows very typical for him for people to believe. Protestshy i think the and the reason why people are outside asking for his mentioned, as you corruption, bad governance. A lot of the broken promises. Cost of living is very high, the highest within the 11 years now. The currency rate is going very high also. Actually, we face a humanitarian crisis. People in urban areas making peoples lives very difficult. Difficulties these that the country is facing, do confidence that whoever were to replace moise would be able to tackle them effectively or could it generate a vacuum that could lead to a crisis of greater proportion . Crisis in haiti is a systemic crisis. It is not going to be easy for anyone to change things very drastically. It is not easy. Has shown he does not have the capacity and maybe does not have the will to change things because it is almost three years now of a presidency and the policies. Pointk we are at some which is actually very difficult for us to accept the fact he is still in power. As i said, it is not going to be easy because the crisis is very big now. That will take time. Anchor are you concerned that if the government continues to stand its ground and the protesters continue with co i tinue to demonstrate, this could lead to further clashes and more violence .

Incredibly after being checked at the hospital, he returned for the second session. Hes hoping to secure an eighth world title on sunday. That is all your support for now. We will have more from the Khalifa International stadium later on but now back to london. Anchor thank you. Now for the first time, a paralyzed person has been able to walk again with the aid of a mind controlled exoskeleton. Researchers in france have developed this technology to translate the mans brain waves into mechanical movements. The exoskeleton is still a prototype but it offers a glimpse in the future where peoples brains can regain the power of movement. Reporter four years ago, this man was paralyzed in a fall. Even today, his final court is too badly damaged to transmit signals from his brain to his limbs. And he can actually walk by using the power of the mind and exoskeleton. What was perfumed is movements of an avatar on the screen and an exoskeleton. It has never been done from the brain controlling all four levels. That is exciting for this research. Reporter the tests subject name is a french optician. Back in 2017, the researchers implanted two sensors in his skull. In the part of the brain which involves movement. The electrodes detect his brain signals and a computer algorithm processes those signals. Within 350 milliseconds, the algorithm translates the brains impulses directly into this exoskeleton. When he moves, he is in the power of his mind. First, he practice on controlling a computer avatar and out learned to move all four limbs of the suit. This may look slow and unsteady, it is aechnology terms, massive leap forward. The scientists who developed this were not available for interview. An official media lunch takes place next week. Robotic mobility assistance has been developing rapidly in recent years but harnessing brainpower is still in its infancy. People with very high levels are able to control electric wheelchairs by puffing and sucking with their device now. If this brain implant is really to transform that and bring the promise of people by their thoughts controlling their mobility and environment, it has a long way to go. Reporter the road ahead may be long, but the journey begins with a single step. Anchor for more on everything we are covering, on our website for all the latest comments, analysis and video.
